She probably threatened suicide. I used to work in a County Jail and when someone came in threatening suicide they had to take all their cloths off and be put in a special cell, except in our case they were covered in a suicide smock, which is a thick inflexible thing that they wore to cover themselves with, that they couldn't turn into a rope. They were also put on 15 minute checks.

Possibly, but she is clearly heard during the video screaming ‘why are you doing this to me?’. That doesn’t pass the suicide watch smell test for me.

“She probably threatened suicide.”

That is in the video. They asked her if she thought about hurting herself and she replied “now or ever?” and and that point the cops couldn’t her clothes off fast enough. There was no smock to cover herself with though. I wonder why?

Well tell me then, if they were afraid she was going to commit suicide, why would they put her in a concrete cell, where one could easily stand on the bench and jump head first onto the concrete cell floor?

If suicide is the excuse, why was she not put in a padded cell, taken to a hospital, or restrained while in custody, etc?
